You are using >>, the append operator. This will never clear the file
out from run to run. Make sure you delete the file before the loop. Now,
if the alphabetical order expansion of 'access*' is not to your liking,
you will have to spell the order out in full.
cat f.4 f.1 f.2 f.4 >filename
Note that this also gets rid of appending to stale files. If this is
tedious, and the filenames never change, you could
cat >mylist
f.3
f.4
f.1
f.2
^D
and then from then on you just run:
cat `cat mylist` >filename
